THE Complete Evo X turbo swap parts list!
This is the list of everything needed to swap an Evo X turbo onto a Ralliart. If its not listed, the Ralliart has the same part # and can be reused on the new turbo setup. This list should be comprehensive and complete. Its even broken down into required and recommended pieces. {thumbup} Prices are list prices from Mitsubishi.
Required (a complete turbo assembly off an X should include all of this): 1515A183 (1515A198) Turbocharger 2,022.79 1555A476 Exhaust manifold 514.82 MN119784 Exhaust stud x2 (these will not come out of your Ralliart turbo without breaking) 9.73 x2 1515A150 Turbo Outlet pipe 62.20 1515A184 Turbo to manifold gasket 44.10 1555A289 Turbo to 02 housing gasket 40.37 1555A423 O2 housing 171.77 1225a155 Oil feed line 27.22 1225A181 Oil return line 75.97 1310A469 Coolant return pipe 12.10 1310A577 Coolant feed pipe 25.20 MF650114 coolant banjo bolt x2 7.37 x2 MF660065 coolant banjo bolt gasket x4 0.95 x4 1542A042 Inlet elbow 61.08 1515A053 Inlet elbow gasket 10.10 1570B095 Downpipe 304.52 (it would be cheaper just to get an AMS widemouth downpipe instead of stock Evo downpipe and O2 housing) 3078.50 + 27.22 +304.52 total list. 1055.71 + 27.22 + 304.52 without new OEM turbo Recommended but not required to work: 1555A320 O2 housing bracket 19.08 MD194403 Oil return line gasket 1.53 1515A166 Compressor housing bracket 19.08 MF140264 Compressor housing bracket bolt 2.23 MF140260 Compressor housing bracket bolt 1.30 MR281085 Turbo outlet pipe gasket (same as Ralliart but new ones are recommended) 4.65 47.87 total list. |
Very comprehensive list. Thanks!
|
soo when will we see a complete fp evo red swap?
|
What a great, comprehensive list! Should be an excellent resource for those planning to do the X swap in the near future. {thumbup}
|
A red swap would be the same, just replace the OEM turbo, inlet pipe, inlet pipe gasket, and compressor bracket and bolts with the cost of a Red.
|
awesome work and thanks for posting!!
|
Great post Eric{thumbup}
Mods, I think it would be a good idea to sticky this at the top as people are always asking whats needed for the X turbo swap. |
Sweet! Now I'm set! Time to order the rest of the parts I need :D
|
Is a "swap kit" with FP Red going to be part of the Black Friday sale? :)

One thing that should be added to this list is a tune.
I'm sure a stock Evo X flash would work in a pinch. |
ya, you would have to pay for a tune, so thats some added money. Im sure you could get by without one, but I wouldnt consider that very safe, nore would you get the full power advantage.

i would hazard to guess a stock mr map would be better then the stock ra map for sure.
|
I don't think that stock evo map would work. I believe the evo uses both an active and a passive solenoid to control boost. I think custom tailored target load, wgdc, and fuel maps would be needed.

I can envision horrible things happening... |
Very good Eric!
I have plans to do this swap probably after Christmas and having all the parts listed on one place is a go. Does the heat shield on the mani fits both the RA and Evo X? I ask because when I was thinking about swapping the turbos, I was wondering if I was going to be able to swap the "aluminum foil" look like heat shield from the RA to the Evo X. |
All the heat shields are the same. I literally posted every part that is different, including bolts and gaskets. If they're not on the list, you reuse your Ralliart piece because it has the same part number. You will also need an Evo X intake pipe of some sort, or modify the Ralliart intake in some way.

Nice list Eric. Thanx.
|
Correct. Our intake for the Ralliart and the X are the same except the for the silicone coupler to the turbo. You would replace the coupler with a 3" coupler and it would work on the X turbo.
|
Nice list. I would love to do it after my warranty is up and some other people have run around with this setup for a bit.
|
Hey everyone. So if you are like me and don't want to buy a $2000 OEM EVO X turbocharger for my RA what are some other options? I found this website turbocharger.com thats selling OEM EVO X charger for $845 but don't know if I should trust that. I mean to go from $2000 to $845 is a big jump. By the way anyone recked a EVO X and looking to get rid of a turbo should contact me.
|
Ummm look at the Evo X for sale forums? Their are already people parting their turbos out cause they are getting different ones aswell...
|
I saw a used one with the exhaust manifold for 500 on Ebay last week , slight chance it may still be there
|
Ifound one for 275 shipped, im gonna get it. are the downpipes the smae and do i really need to get the AMS FMIC kit or can i run stock also what about the tranny cooler is it needed right away, I just need to get my car going again so i can get to work on my own....

|
You will need the oil feed line 1225a155 as well. Just got to the point of bolting that on and the ralliart banjo fitting is smaller than the X.

Opps I left that one out!

dumb question but I'm from Australia and I'm wondering if the parts list is the same i.e. are the US and Aussie delivered RAs the same in terms of engine componentry? Thinking about doing an Evo x turbo/FMIC swap myself you see but parts are harder to come by in Australia :)
|
Yes! It has been sickied! :D

Another question - are there pictures of each of the parts (particularly the bolts and smaller bits) available somewhere on the site?

Ralliart and Evo X down pipes

The downpipes are different part numbers, but I am not sure why. They may have the same flange locations, just some minor difference like a bracket or heat shielding. I have see a few companies sell the same downpipe for both cars, indicating that if they have test fit them, then they are interchangeable.
I do not have individual pictures of each part, but if I can locate a complete assembly, I would be willing to spend the time to label and photograph each piece to make it easier for you guys. |

Thanks Eric!
Also - I got word that the downpipe from right-hand drive cars and left-hand drive cars are different due to the routing/steering column. Is that the only part that is different for us Aussie/UK RA owners looking to do the RA to EVO X turbo conversion? |
Vincent, i just sent you a PM
|
Hey I had a question.
I have a EVO X stock air box. Will I be able to install it with a mini battery in my ralliart? This is for my evo x swap. I have all the stock evo x parts: air box, turbo outlet, ic pipes, fmic, turbo kit. I don't want to add an intake pipe. |
Im looking for a complete oem RA turbo kit. PM me
|
Any X-swaps been to the track yet?

I was bored and made this Excel spreadsheet with all the part #s and prices that Eric@AMS compiled. I also looked up the mitsubishiparts.net prices.
You need to delete the ".txt" part of the file so it becomes an Excel sheet again. I wasn't able to upload xls files here and when I put it into a Word document, it was too large. |
Im looking at doing the swap and ive noticed that alot of guys doing it are moving their batteries to the trunk (im guessing due to intake situation?). Is there a setup where i wont have to do this? Thanks for the help in advance
|
You won't need to move the battery if you keep the same intake architecture. Simple solution is to change out the factory Ralliart filter for an aftermarket filter, K&N makes one, to improve intake flow. Check out intake threads in the forum, tests show a good aftermarket filter flows almost as much a no filter at all.
|
I was under the impression that some kind of evo Intake pipe was needed (what Eric from AMS said)
|
I'll be installing a Evo X AEM intake on my RA when we install the CBRD BBX lite.
I currently have a mini battery which I need get a little creative about positioning. I'll take some photos of the final - Bryan |

You're welcome.

No one answered this last time:
Are all these parts (minus the downpipe) compatible with a right hand drive Ralliart? |
Would a completed Evo X turbo swap be worth the tail lights on my car? The guy is willing to give me all the parts including the all the piping and intercooler off of his Evo for my tail light is it worth it?

http://i25.tinypic.com/2pzl2k9.gif |
I'd say sure, but that's kinda sketchy, usually trades are similar value, not trading down. I'd examine the turbo closely and make sure it wasn't blown.
but yea if you have another set of tail lights you can use, eff it lol go big or go home lol |
True that he is gonna swap me his for mine as well
|
then yea dude, even if the turbo is shot, you still come out ahead wit all the extras you'd get
|
Hey, here's a big question!!?? I own a 09' Ralliart, and was wondering would a aftermarket intake for a 09' Evo would fit my car, and work the same as well.. I've already moved my battery to the trunk to allow for the extra space (bigger intake). Here's the intake that I want to put on my car.. http://www.lancershop.com/customer/p...cat=117&page=1
|
Thanks for taking time to make the list! {thumbup}
However your excel file is missing this part (1225A155 Oil Feed Line $27.22) as Kieffer87 mentioned in post #27 in this thread. Maybe you wanna keep the list up-to-date.

Can anyone confirm this?
http://www.ultimate-racing.com/Produ...ousingDP.shtml Seeing as how I'm a hands-on and visual kinda guy, I'm reading this on the first page as the downpipe, O2 housing, and turbo outlet pipe but without a visual, I'm hesitant to buy this combo. This is the only thing confusing me, and yes I could just shoot them UR and email and ask the same question but figured someone on this site who has already done the swap knows the answer. I'm trying to knock out the big parts now (O2 housing, turbo outlet/inlet, exhaust mani, and downpipe) since I've got an X turbo otw to me. Also, I can read a list of parts all day long and I really do appreciate the work put into compiling the list, but I'm not looking to go with strictly OEM parts so if anyone can offer their input on what aftermarket options were used either here or via PM. Yes, before I get bashed, I could Google some of this info but I definitely don't want to be in a situation where I've taken things apart and I'm missing that "one" part I forgot to buy. |

Just wanted to know how are you guys connecting the Evo X MAF to the turbo. Are ppl using the Evo X rubber black pipe or the RA one. Or is there some other option? Cheers

Spider21 has the Cobb version hyperlinked in his sig. I'm having this same problem as well, maybe this should be added to the list..? My car is in the shop now and I can't connect the intake to the turbo inlet....anyone has a quick fix as I need to pick up my car tmr..(don't want to pay for another week of car rental) |
question..so on these 2 parts:
MF660065 coolant banjo bolt gasket x4 0.95 x4 -- is this 16 of them? MF650114 coolant banjo bolt x2 7.37 x2 -- is this 4 of them? |

drunk?
|
ok im going to be doing the swap next weekend...but not sure of what to do for an intake.....I was thinking a filter connected just after the MAF??? Kinda like the UR style...but cheaper to do obviously since its just a filter..that way I wont have to remove the battery either..has anyone else tried this?

Suggestions for tuner shops
Ok, so I live in the East Bay of California and I've made calls to two tuner shops that "may" do my Evo X turbo swap. One doesn't really instill confidence in me (FFTEC Motorsports) while the other hasn't returned any of my inquiries (GST Motorsports). I found them both as authorized dealers on the AMS Performance website. Can anyone make any references for respectable, experienced tuner shops that will do an Evo X turbo swap into an RA, without drama or BS? Preferably within 25-30 miles of the East Bay area. Thanks guys.
|
I am getting all of my parts together to do the swap, and I have everything on the list. I am currently using the Evo X MAF housing with a cone filter for my intake. Am I going to have to order another piece in order to attach the MAF housing to the turbo?
|
dont know if this was asked already but does this mean that you can just buy an AMS widemouth downpipe without having to buy an evo o2 housing and downpipe? like the new o2 housing is removed from the equation?
|

if i were to buy all these things for this swap, one or a few pieces at a time, what order should i buy them in? where should i start...

If your going to title this "THE Complete Evo X turbo swap parts list!," then please for the love of god, please make it complete!!! Went in to the shop yesterday to do the swap and get tuned, had everything on the list. After sitting at the shop for about 6 hours, they come to tell me there's a problem. The intake won't work, and in order to use an X intake, I will need to either relocate the battery to the trunk, or go with a small battery kit. Also my UICP won't fit, so I'm going to need one of those. They didn't feel comfortable fabricating a custom intake, so they ordered one which won't be in until Monday. Between the extra parts, labor, and the fact that I'm having to rent a car until mines ready, this is costing me an extra $1300. Thank you "THE Complete Evo X turbo swap parts list!"

That sure sounds like a total pain.
If you can put up the part numbers for the required extra stock Mitsu intake items, the OP or the mods can add it to the list. Rich |

The small battery kit I believe somewhere in this thread states you need this and I believe the only other part that you need was the Evo X Maf housing unless you use AMS's intake kit. As for the UICP the stock X pipe is needed and you should have had this and the LICP with at least a STOCK X intercooler before you did the conversion. Everyone here has contributed time and knowledge no reason to thank everyone at once with a slap in the face ;-)
I followed a thread titled "THE Complete Evo X Turbo swap parts list!" thinking that the capitalized THE and the exclamation point at the end meant that this would be absolutely everything I would need. In the end it wasn't and the mistake is costing me $1300. I don't completely blame the parts list, I blame myself as well as the shop who decided to do 75% of the work before realizing things weren't going to fit. I just feel like a good bit of the extra expense that's coming out of my pocket could have been avoided if the parts list had been better updated. I'm done ranting |

What you needed to connect to the turbo is a Turbo Inlet Hose just so you know :-) which is listed in my signature if you would like to take a look. |

Anything using the OEM-style box (OEM, AEM) still won't fit dont' forget OEM X spark plugs (different heat range) edit: updated, thanks spider21 |

Small battery is a must...abd in a pinch a cone filter on the maf housing works

Yes please don't forget the X spark plugs ;-)... The Cobb SF intake also works just so you have an additional one on the list with a small battery. If you did relocate to the trunk you could get about 5 or 6 parts from the dealer and make underneath the hood look like a Evo X with the union Joint and bracket....
another note to those wondering: if you want to avoid buying a small battey by relocating the battery to the trunk, you're out of luck. Batteries in the trunk need to be sealed (small batteries are), so you'll have to buy a new battery either way |

From what I understand the stock Evo X battery made by Panasonic is not a sealed battery and just has a vent tube that vents outside the car. So in reality it is not necessary but it is recommended that you go with a sealed gel or agm style battery so you would not need a vent tube or special battery box... :-)

Thought I would share the completed engine bay look after moving my battery to the hatch

What about just a dry cell battery?

Can we use an aftermarket exhaust manifold, or does it have to be the stock evo x manifold? I'm seeing a bunch of aftermarket ones on ebay, and am tempted to pick one of them up rather than going OEM for the turbo swap.

Yes you can you an aftermarket just make sure it is a good one. Which one on ebay were you looking at as there is a lot of junk ones out there when I was looking.
How are these xaviar ones? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/?cmd=...m=320543826801 or these synergy ones? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/?cmd=...m=180705983048 any others you recommend? They're more expensive than the OEM ones, but if they're worth it, I don't mind the extra money. |
Have a look at the ETS, MAPerformance and CBRD manis. I personally would go with a proven company than to take a chance on Ebay. I'm looking at doing a BBX Lite upgrade in the spring and I'll probably go with the MAP tubular mani, unless I can get a package deal for the BBX Lite and CBRD mani {thumbup}
The ETS is an actual equal-length runner mani, and therefore is probably the best. However, it's much more expensive than the MAP mani, and I don't think spending the extra cash will net me any gains because I'll be limiting torque to begin with. - On a side note, MAP does build an equal length runner mani and it's priced around the same as the ETS unit. Also, look into a cam angle heat shield if you're going to do a manifold upgrade. About $30. |
Wow I'm glad I haven't done this swap yet sounds like this complete turbo list isn't complete. So the parts that are missing from this complete list are evo x plugs, a short ram, not sure if I'm reading right small bat? an evo maf is there anything else I'm glad yall are relocating batterys wiether dry cell or not but can we please get focused on what we need to complete this complete turbo list so it doesn't cost us more because of delays and so then we can say we have a complete turbo list
